WABE’s H. Johnson has been a fixture on our station since 1978. As host of both “Blues Classics” and “Jazz Classics,” H. continually educates and entertains WABE listeners every Friday and Saturday night.
H. joins “City Lights” every other Friday to share a bit from his breadth of jazz knowledge. The segment “H. Johnson’s Jazz Moment” explores selections from the best of H.’s music collection, along with tidbits from history, personal reflections and his thoughts on the evergreen resonance of jazz.
In this segment, H. Johnson featured Screaming Jay Hawkins and his song “I Put a Spell on You.”
“It’s strange… he has a voice that could have been an opera singer… and he’s not known for anything except this one particular tune, ” H. said.
Catch H’s Blues Classics show tonight and every Friday beginning at 10 p.m. and then return for Jazz Classics every Saturday night starting at 8, right here on 90.1 WABE.
